anna baskin lattimore found this fab stand and sink for her lovely clients’ powder room. when the painters came through on their last sweep, they accidentally caulked this little piece of wood into place as a backsplash, when it was only meant to be a placeholder for another material. at that stage of the construction, moving forward was much simpler than undoing it, and anna asked if i could match it to the stand. so, it’s just a tiny detail, but here is a little before and after for you to see.
before (with tinted primer):
and after:
after the tinted primer, i applied coats of a custom-mixed paint that was as close as possible to the color of the wood. some grainy texture with dark brown glaze, two coats of varnish, and it’s off the punch-list.
